MONTEREY, Mass. - Experienced trail guide Dr. Richard Greene will lead a walk along a historic thoroughfare in the Bidwell forests on Saturday, September 12, at 10 a.m. Guests will walk in the footsteps of the earliest settlers on an old road that followed an Indian path.
Settlers in Tyringham Township followed the path to the first Meeting House, which was located on the Bidwell House Museum acreage.
Greene will point out the intersection of the Old Boston Post Road to Albany near the site of the Meeting House and make a case for Colonel Henry Knox's traversing the property with Fort Ticonderoga cannons on his historic 1776 march to Dorchester Heights in Boston. Walkers will note the flora and fauna along this path, which was the demographic center and origin of the two towns.
Bring walking shoes and water and allow 2 to 3 hours. Donations $10 Members; $15 Non-members will be accepted. Call 413-528-6888 for more information.
